The development of Bulgaria's electric vehicle industry is expected to experience a boom in 2012, said Iliya Levkov, Chair of Bulgaria's Electric Vehicles Industrial Cluster (EVIC)
EVIC, a 100% Bulgarian NGO designed to spur co-operation and co-ordination between various firms and organisations in order to help initiate the industrial production of electric cars in Bulgaria, was formed in November 2009 when a number of designers and industrial manufacturers from the machine building sector, communications and oil industries, top universities and research institutions came together.
Following more than a year of negotiations, EVIC has just reached an agreement with Avtomotor Korporatsiya, the official importer of Citroen, for the industrial conversion in Bulgaria of two Citroen models - Berlingo and Jumper - into electric vehicles, a deal described by Cluster Secretary Ivan Kostov as revolutionary.
Alongside Bulgaria, only a handful of countries in the world such as the USA and Italy, have the experience and capacity for the industrial conversion of conventional cars into electric vehicles.
"Bulgaria holds an extremely important position in the production and conversion of electric vehicles .." explained Iliya Levkov ".. and we see a boom of converted vehicles in Bulgaria in 2012. We are convinced of that because, parallel to our production talks, we have also negotiated with delivery, shipping, and logistics companies and with business clients ready to buy the cars."
"This industry is just emerging and has an enormous potential, with high added value, significant investment and highly-skilled labour .." he continued ".. and it can uplift Bulgaria's economy. This sector should be the number one priority in government economic policies because we have the chance to make it happen right here, right now."
